The Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, in concert with the National Park Service, has officially listed the Farmers Exchange building at 215 W. Canal Drive in downtown Kennewick on the National Register of Historic Places. This recognition secures its place as the first nationally recognized historic property in downtown Kennewick.

Constructed in 1912 and serving as the city's agricultural supply hub for over a century, the Farmers Exchange ceased operations in 2024. Its inclusion on the National Register may unlock access to preservation grants and historic tax incentives, making it an appealing opportunity for investment with heritage value. The property was acquired by Banner Bank through foreclosure after the previous owner defaulted on their loan. Banner Bank now holds title and is offering the property for sale.
